Exploring Green Development From the Perspective of Sociology:Logical Basis,Constraints,and Optimization Paths

With the advancement of ecological conservation in China,the concept of green development has gained extensive acceptance and recognition.Exploring green development from the perspectives of environmental protection and sociology holds great theoretical value and practical significance in studying the issues related to green development.Firstly,this paper examines green development in light of the objective needs of the economic and social transformation in the international community and China,and deconstructed its underlying social logic.Secondly,it further investigates the social factors that restrict green development,encompassing social structures,social concepts,social systems,and social behaviors.Finally,within the framework of the“green”discipline system in environmental sociology,this paper proposes specific measures such as restructuring social systems and transforming production modes,lifestyles,and consumption patterns to promote green development.

“反思社会学”,还是“反身社会学”--Reflexive Sociology汉译探析

对布迪厄思想关键词reflexive sociology,现至少有"反思社会学""反思性社会学""反观社会学""反身社会学""反身性社会学"等五种译法。鉴于"反思社会学"之"反思"混淆了reflexive和reflective,前者尚可译为"反身",后者除了"反思"再无词可译。使用"反思社会学"无异于让reflexive抢了reflective的地盘,而reflective在布迪厄著作中同样常见。reflexive本义即为"反身",且布迪厄赋予实践突出的意义,而实践仰仗行动者的身体。在汉语中,"身"有"我自己""你自己""他自己"之意,如"反求诸身";又有实践的意蕴,如"身体力行"。故建议使用"反身社会学"翻译reflexive sociology。

A Review of Environmental Sociology and the Sociology of Natural Resources:Insights for the Development of Environmental Sociology in China

Environmental sociology and the sociology of natural resources are two key subdisciplines of the sociological study on the interactions between nature and human society.Previous discussion on the relationships of these two fields has largely focused on their distinctions and synthesis in western(particularly American) academia.Environmental sociology emerged as an important sociological subdiscipline in China in the early 1990s and is under vigorous disciplinary construction at present.By contrast,the sociology of natural resources is still a novel term for most Chinese researchers.This article provides a systematic review of recent literature on the relationships between environmental and natural resource sociologies,which should provide important implications for the further development of environmental sociology in China.

Complex Systems Theory: Some Considerations for Sociology

This essay presents a reflection on the main implications of Complexity Theory for science in general, redefining and dispelling myths of traditional science, and Sociology in particular, suggesting a redefinition of Parsons’ classic concept of Social System, articulated around the property of self-maintenance of order rather than on its possible discontinuity and instability. It argues that Complexity Theory has established the limits of Classic Science, leading to a more realistic awareness of working and evolution mechanisms of Natural and Social Systems and showing the limits of our capacity to predict and control events. Dissipative structures have shown the creative role of time. Instability, emergence, surprise, unpredictability are the rule rather than the exception when systems move away from equilibrium (entropy), even if these processes are generated from a system’s deterministic working mechanisms. Therefore, we have come to realize how constructive the contribution of Complexity is, in regards to the long lasting problem of the relationship between order and disorder. Today, the terms of this relationship have been re-specified in its new configuration of inter-relationship link, according to a unicum which finds its synthesis in self-organization and deterministic chaos concepts. From this perspective, as Prigogine suggested, studies on Complex Systems are heading toward a historical, biological conception of Physics, and a new alliance between natural systems and living, social systems. Non-linearity, far from equilibrium self-organization, emergence and surprise meet at all levels, as this paper attempts to highlight. In Sociology, insights of Complexity Theory have contributed to a new way of thinking about social systems, by re-addressing some fundamental issues starting to social system, emergence and change concepts. The current social system conception as complex dynamical systems is supported by a profitable use of non-liner models (in particular, the Logistic map) in the study of social processes.

Chinese Sociology: “Chinese Learning” or “Western Learning”

Both the problem consciousness and research characteristics reflected in Chinese sociological traditions are closely connected with the changes and development of the contemporary Chinese society and thus have an impact on the basic features of Chinese sociology. The "for oneself" tradition of Chinese sociology has displayed a fully–open mind for the tradition, the core thought and issue resources of western sociology, and at the same time, it also reflects Chinese solid research on western traditions. This tradition is of great inspiration for us to reflect on the challenges and relevant disputes confronting Chinese sociology today, for how to define and think about the "Chinese learning" or "western learning" problem in Chinese sociology is at the same time a core issue both in the disputes between the theory and the methodology, and in interpreting Chinese "localized" sociology as a discipline.

A Study on Liang Shiqiu's Translation Theory from the Prospective of Translation Sociology

Translation activities,social environment and translators’individual particularities are combined in translation sociology which are provided broader theoretical perspective for translation studies.In this paper,Liang Shiqiu’s translation theory is analyzed from the perspective of translation sociology and there should be a new perspective which has expanded in the research of Liang Shiqiu’s translation theory.

The Strength of Training and Applied Research on Specialized Sociology to Contribute to the Social Science Development(Case Study in the Southern Region of Vietnam)

With the common trend of integration and accelerated industrialization-modernization,especially in the context of the current Industrial Revolution 4.0,the South is one of the areas where there are situations and requirements especially for training and research in social sciences in general,sociology in particular.Because,the issue is not only to contribute to the early recovery of the―human resource valley‖(specializing in the South West),facilitating the rapid development of human resources for―investment policy‖and early implementation of the―zoning,planning‖but also by many other economic,social,and cultural issues of the whole region…All have been asked to promote the training and applied research in sociology,especially in specialized sociology to contribute to the linking and promoting the active role of the social sciences with strategic issues and strategies related to the practical development of this land both in the immediate future and in the long run.

The Chinese-English Translation of Sun Tzu’s Art of War from the Perspective of Bourdieusian Sociology

The paper introduces the three core concepts of Bourdieu’s sociological theory and their application in translation studies.The paper then examines and discusses the English translation of The Art of War from Bourdieu’s sociological perspective and the perspective of ephemerality.A comprehensive and objective description of the different translations of the same original text in different historical periods,the strategies of the translators,and the social,historical and cultural factors affecting the translation process can lead to a deeper understanding and proper orientation of translation.

Sociology Between Research and the Society of Data

This paper focuses on how big data guide the construction of the interpretative schemata we use to understand the world and act in it.To this end,the essay describes the most significant new research elements and frontiers that sociology is obliged to address at present.While the prevailing literature advocates the need to promote data literacy,the idea we wish to advance is that it is necessary to foster the comprehension of data along with an understanding of the role and the responsibility which sociology has intrepidly assumed since its foundation,that is,the study and explication of the complexity of the relationships characterising social life always and everywhere.Our intent is to make a proactive contribution to the study of the digitality to bring to light perverse,unexpected and/or unwanted effects associated with naive use of big data for research purposes.

Sociological Complexity Theory:From Epistemology to Empirical Methodology

This study,through a re-conceptualization of sociological complexity theory’s epistemological sources,specifically in Edgar Morin’s formulation,sheds light on the theoretical models as well as empirical methodologies of sociological analysis of today’s complex,interconnected,diverse and globalized society and global disorder.Complexity theory leads to a shift in perspective and a transformation of the epistemological status of social sciences with an in-depth intervention of disorder,contingency,case,singular,and non-repeatable in the sociological analysis.The notion of dialogic interplay is placed at the paradigm level and stands out at the heart of the concepts,analyzing the social system as auto-eco-organizer.Similarly,the notion of‘emergence’at macro-micro levels imposes itself as complex,logically requiring overcoming simple,linear thinking and model of explanation to adopt the perspective of organizational rotativity in which the product retroacts by transforming the one producing it,by conceiving a circularity of co-production between individuals and society through interactions.Declining epistemology and sociological complexity theory in the empirical methodology setting,the complex sociological approach is phenomenon-,event/information-and crisis-centered,privileging observation,participation-intervention,and‘live inquiry’.The open,in-depth and possibly non-directive interview is part of clinical sociological methodology,raising the question of the observer-phenomenon-observed relation.

中国式现代化与关系社会学理论创新

中国式现代化为中国社会学理论创新提出了时代任务。西方社会学的现代化理论聚焦社会行为从传统向现代的模式转变,但囿于欧美中心主义和二元对立的哲学理念,欧美社会学家提出的论断漠视世界其他国家的现代化经验,忽视传统与现代之间的连续性,轻视社会行为背后的联系性研究。中国主体话语的关系社会学继承和发展了中国社会学派的联系性理论视角,创立十余年来获得了中国关系纽带、关系机制、关系文化、关系网络等四个方面的理论突破。从中国式现代化的五大中国特色出发,就关系社会学的未来研究议题提出了新的理论命题,包括人口规模巨大视域下的社会关系模式渐变命题和代际关系调适命题、全体人民共同富裕视域下的促进型和抑制型关系机制命题、物质文明与精神文明协调发展视域下的关系纽带变迁命题和关系行为惯习命题、人与自然和谐共生视域下加强环保意识和强化环保行为的关系作用命题、走和平发展道路视域下的中国关系网络相对优势命题。

感性空间到感性实践:马克思主义空间社会学的理论起点

20世纪60年代崛起的当代空间社会学,不仅是对以往结构性研究方式的突破与超越,也应被看作马克思主义社会学学术传统的回归与发展。空间思维,不仅未曾在马克思思想中“缺场”,恰而相反地贯穿在马克思的整个思想历程中。在1839—1841年的早期作品中,马克思便提出了感性空间这一概念,可以说是马克思主义空间社会学的理论萌芽,而感性实践观的提出成为马克思主义空间社会学的理论基点。基于感性空间到感性实践的理论起点,国外马克思主义者对资本主义社会展开了不同角度的空间批判,推进了马克思主义空间社会学在新时代的理论演进。回溯与明确马克思主义空间社会学的理论起点与脉络,对接续和发展中国马克思主义社会学研究、推进以马克思主义指导的中国社会学自主知识理论体系的创新建设具有重要而深刻的理论启示。

高考诚信缺失行为的社会学分析与对策

针对高考中出现的诚信缺失行为,采用社会学的符号互动理论和场域理论对其产生原因进行剖析。高考失信行为主要源于考试诚信自律水平较低的考生受到消极社会文化风气影响,或是高考场域中成绩相对靠后的考生争夺文化资本利益的手段出现异化。加强高考诚信治理体系建设,既要从提高考生自律能力出发加强考试诚信道德教育,养成其考试诚信的内在品质;也要丰富他律手段、健全法律制度体系,加强对考试诚信缺失行为的处罚。

文化、心智与教育——破解教育改革困境底层逻辑的文化社会学分析

受认知科学启发,近年来文化社会学越来越关注文化的认知属性。文化并非是整体性的存在,而更类似于工具箱。个体通过自我建构而形成其独特的心智结构,在社会网络互动中,逐渐表现出心智结构的共性即所谓的文化图式。教育领域众多观念的分歧与争论,便源于这种自发启动的心智结构,或者集体意识与无意识,因而由认知偏差而导致刻板化的偏见与成见。本文摒弃教育的文化决定论立场,强调人的心智开放,即沟通不同社会网络之间的良性互动,激发反思意识与批判性思维,是破解教育改革困境的底层逻辑。
